They’re probably something called “yellow houseplant mushrooms” (Leucocoprinus birnbaumii). We saw some in a pot of caladiums a couple of weeks ago. According to Wikipedia they’re not harmful for the plant, but they are poisonous to humans and pets. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leucoco...

TV on a wooden stand. The screen is black, with white text. It reads:

APRIL - 1805
Napoleon is master of Europe
Only the British fleet now stands before him

OCEANS ARE NOW BATTLEFIELDS

Celebrating Appomattox Court House Day!

White linen dish towel used as a flag of truce by Confederate troops during Gen. Robert E. Lee's surrender at Appomattox Court House, Virginia. Picture from National Museum of American History, which also holds the original towel.

The cat in question; you can see her little pink belly.

An white cat with black tabby markings on her head, back, and tail. She is sleeping on her right side, with her head to the left side of the picture. Her paws are curled under her and her tail is wrapped over her back feet. You can see just a hint of a chubby pink belly. She is on a bed, on top of a white duvet with a navy blue paisley print.

We had to have our 15-yo man put to sleep on Sunday. It sucks so bad. Thank you for being there for Dr. Diva.

Elderly gray tomcat sitting on a beige sofa, with several beige or beige and blue throw pillows behind him. He’s kind of rolled back onto his rump so he can lean against one of the pillows. And he is glaring DAGGERS at the backside of an orange dog who has the nerve to be too close to the cat’s Personal Space.

Thank you @tomtomorrow.bsky.social!

Cover of “Our Long National Nightmare” by Tom Tomorrow, propped on a desk with miscellaneous workspace materials showing. Title is in yellow block capital letters at the top of the cover image, and they are waaaavy. The author’s name is in black capital letters in a yellow bar at the bottom of the cover. The background of the cover is shaded from lavender to pink, and there are disembodied eyes floating about. The eyes peer down on Sparky, a penguin wearing a red visor over his eyes. Sparky is surrounded by caricatures of the cretins from this administration, including the President (orange, sweaty), the VP (bearded, dressed as a bellhop), RFKjr (also orange and melty), and Stephen Miller (sunken-eyed, pale)

Parking lot ducks, 2014.

Two ducks in a gravel parking lot. They’re both walking from right to left. The duck on the left (the leader) is slightly smaller, with mottled brown feathers, a gray-brown bill, and orange feet. The duck on the right (the follower, or “duck tail” if you will) is a mallard, with the deep blue-green head, brown feathers on its back, light gray feathers underneath, a yellow bill, and orange feet.

There are actually four kinds of untruths: lies, damn lies, statistics, and the look on the face of a dog trying to convince you that it’s time for Second Lunch.

A small-ish dog (golden-brown, shaped like a chubby dachshund) is sitting on a dark brown wood-grained floor. There are white kitchen cabinets behind him. He has his floppy ears pulled down close to his head, and he is looking up at the camera with pleading brown eyes.

RETVRN

1971 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser. Big ol’ station wagon, with a fancy glass bubble roof over the Way Back. This on is on the big GM chassis, shared with the Delta 88 from the same year. It’s a lovely creamy beige color above the steel wells, and classic wood trim below

You have to let the kitty nap on you while you try to type, those are the rules

Generic WFH setup: dark wood desk, gray felt desk pad, Mac wireless keyboard. There’s a messy pile of papers to the left. In the center is a man’s left forearm, wearing a blue fleece. (The man is me, taking the picture.) There’s a large cat draped over the man’s arm — she’s colored like a seal-point Siamese (dark brown back, golden at the shoulders and hips, dark ears and legs), but her dainty feet are creamy white. I’m trying to type; she’s in the way, and not going anywhere.

The 80s revival of “Chicago” is outstanding. Pretty sure you can get the soundtrack from the usual streaming sources. For a really deep cut, I found the LP of the original Broadway cast, with Gwen Verdon and Chita Rivera in the female leads and Jerry Orbach—Lenny Briscoe himself—as Billy Flynn

Cover of the original Broadway cast album of “Chicago”. Cover painting shows 7 impossibly long-legged dancers wearing teeny undergarments and one above-the-knee dark stocking each.

Credits side of the original Broadway cast album of “Chicago”. Above-the-title billing goes to Gwen Verdin, Chita Rivera, and Jerry Orbach. Music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb; directed and choreographed by some guy named Bob Fosse…

Apologies to @aaronjames.bsky.social, but the dog took this personally. Because the dog is, in fact, an asshole*

Cover of “Assholes: A Theory”, by Aaron James (paperback edition). A dog has gnawed off all four corners.

* The asshole in question. A short-legged orange dog, sitting on his rump, in grass with scattered fall leaves. He’s part-dachshund, part-corgi. And in this picture he is giving extreme side-eye

“the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kay_Sum...

This 1944 U.S. Army photo is captioned "Kay Summersby, an Irish girl from County Cork, is mighty proud of the company she keeps, for there is always one important Allied leader behind her when she takes the wheel. Attached to the American Forces as General Dwight Eisenhower's personal driver when he first came to England, she has been driving him ever since over roads in North Africa, Tunisia, Italy, and now England."

How can you deny the elegance of this creature?

Small orange dog sleeping on his back. (He’s part corgi, part dachshund, maybe some terrier… smaller than the purebred corgi down the block.) His legs are so short, and he’s so chubby, that they stick up in the air

This actually sucks as an experience.

Panoramic view of the parking lot at the Buc-ee’s in Sevierville, Tennesseee. It’s cars, and far as the eye can see.

Ewwwww, no.

Screenshot of a series of Bluesky posts.
@ddelwar.bsky.social posted a weird picture of Andrew Cuomo and his family eating dinner. Then I posted to say, “It looks like they’re staging it in a hotel banquet room.” Finally, some account claiming to be Andrew Cuomo replied to me to say, “Thanks so much for the support and caring of my career I'm thrilled to connect with you here on my personal account.”

Wonder what my local Barnes & Noble is trying to say?

Table of paperback novels, including 1984, Parable of the Sower, The Handmaid’s Tale, and others. The sign on the table reads “Dystopian Vibes”, and has a quote from The Handmaid’s Tale

No - we all need them in these days

Young (but quite large) cat on a bed. She’s colored like a dark Siamese—deep brown back, almost black head and legs—but her h and paws are white. Her belly is showing, her back toes are kind of curled up, and she’s curled one white paw over her face.

Got a gift for the lawyer and baseball nerd who went to college in Baltimore (me). There’s a story here, about one of the most important antitrust cases in US history. 1/🧵
